HelpRe: BA
in reply to a message by speakofthewolf
I'm a pretentious geek, too. :-D My cats are Pluto (Edgar Allan Poe), Jasper (Jasper Fforde, author of Thursday Next) and Zeta (last letter of the alphabet.) I grew up with an unusual first name and an even more unusual surname and spent years explaining both. I want to spare my child that pain, although I find myself explaining Miriam quite often.
I have more to give! More words! More joke! MORE BANANAS! - Gerald

I read the story ONCE and was throughly disturbed by it, but Alexander enjoyed it. He always wanted a black cat named Pluto. There wasn't even any discussion about the name. He was Pluto before we left the shelter.

I read literature.com a lot. I like reading about obscure authors no one has ever heard of. :)

I'll look at the website. I just suddenly a Google search for the story and that's the link that came up. :-D

It's fun. Like I said, they have a lot of obscure authors from the past who wrote eyeroll-y, moralist crap, and it's fun to read about them. I get a kick out of it, anyway.

Ahh wow, your cats names are congruous and pretty, I love Pluto! Mine are all weird and don't go to together lol (Nutmeg, Sundae, and Drusilla).
I know that pain, at least partially. My first name is err was common but my last name is a mess.
That's weird you have to explain Miriam (which is gorgeous btw), I would have guessed that it's one of those names that isn't "too" popular but has been in very steady usage for a long time and that most in the west would be familiar with it.

I think Fluffyboots would work as a middle maybe. Zeta Fluffyboots, very smart sounding. :)
